.SH "NAME"
sd_bus_get_n_queued_read, sd_bus_get_n_queued_write \- Get the number of pending bus messages in the read and write queues of a bus connection object

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBsd_bus_get_n_queued_read()\fR
may be used to query the number of bus messages in the read queue of a bus connection object\&. The read queue contains all messages read from the transport medium (e\&.g\&. network socket) but not yet processed locally\&. The function expects two arguments: the bus object to query, and a pointer to a 64\-bit counter variable to write the current queue size to\&. Use
\fBsd_bus_process()\fR
in order to process queued messages, i\&.e\&. to reduce the size of the read queue (as well as, in fact, the write queue, see below)\&.
.PP
Similarly,
\fBsd_bus_get_n_queued_write()\fR
may be used to query the number of currently pending bus messages in the write queue of a bus connection object\&. The write queue contains all messages enqueued into the connection with a call such as
\fBsd_bus_send()\fR
but not yet written to the transport medium\&. The expected arguments are similar to
\fBsd_bus_get_n_queued_read()\fR\&. Here too, use
\fBsd_bus_process()\fR
to reduce the size of the write queue\&. Alternatively, use
\fBsd_bus_flush()\fR
to synchronously write out any pending bus messages until the write queue is empty\&.
.SH "RETURN VALUE"
.PP
On success, these functions return 0 or a positive integer\&. On failure, they return a negative errno\-style error code\&.
.SS "Errors"
.PP
Returned errors may indicate the following problems:
.PP
\fB\-ECHILD\fR
.RS 4
The bus connection was created in a different process, library or module instance\&.
